    My friends and I came to visit not very long after they opened this location, and we ordered the Bánh Hỏi as well as the duck noodles. After a while, it seemed that they forgot about our order of the duck noodles. We decided to cancel the order because we were actually getting full off of the Bánh Hỏi anyways, but the staff was very apologetic and had boxed up some duck for us to try. My friend took the meats home, but the flavor of the duck in the Bánh Hỏi from what I can tell was very good and flavorful. I will have to come back soon because I still am wanting to try the duck noodles hehe

    Love this spot! We found easy street parking on Sunday right across the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious and has a nice ambiance. Staff is friendly. High chairs are available for the little ones. The food was so good! - imperial rolls - these actually came last so we were already kind of full but piping hot and tasty - combo meat and rice platter - our favorite! All of the meats were perfectly seasoned and cooked so good! - combo soup noodle - my 1.5 year son loved the noodles! Broth was flavorful and meats were tender! So tasty! - mango smoothie - very refreshing with the meal. Overall, such a wonderful dining and meal experience! We will definitely be back again!

    The first thing you need to know about this Vietnamese place is that the service will absolutely knock your socks off. Second, the food is so incredibly flavorful that I can't even begin to describe it! We ordered the combo noodles with duck, pork, and chicken. The broth was packed with deep, rich flavor, and the noodles were perfectly al dente--that slight bite and crunch to them made the dish absolutely perfect. A special shout-out to our server, Athena, who was as sweet as can be and provided the most efficient service. Highly recommend! Almost forgot !! salted cream coffee ten outta ten

    Welcome to Tho!

    My hubs and I had a late lunch at Tho on a Tuesday around 2pm and it was absolutely delicious. First, it was a super hot day so it was nice to have lunch in an airy restaurant with open windows and very high ceilings. Tho is quite spacious and we enjoyed how tables were spaced nicely apart. Our waiters were all very welcoming and friendly. They checked on us a few times but not too much. They answered our questions about the menu and were good about asking if we needed more water or anything else. My hubs had the Combo Rice plate that came with roast duck, roasted pork, and BBQ pork. I had the Roast Pork Rice plate. The roasted pork was a pork belly that was tender, savory, and came with a super crispy skin. It was the best roasted pork we had ever had. It came with a dipping sauce but we both agreed it didn't need it. Our dishes came with steamed broken rice which was soft and delicious. I don't get broken rice much but when I do, I really enjoy all its carby goodness. Our dishes also came with a side of clear soup chockfull of green onions and cilantro. I don't usually eat soup, I'm a dry food kind of person, but the soup was so good, I drank it all. Found out later from our waiter that the soup is made from pork bones. Figures. Bone broth is delish. The owner came round to check in on us and see how we liked the food. He was so friendly and gracious and we let him know that we loved the food. We saw that he went to every table to check in which is such a nice touch. Bathrooms are down the hall and to the left. There are men's and women's separate bathrooms. We really enjoyed our lunch at Tho. We want to return on a weekend to try their roasted chicken, a seasonal dish that isn't always available on weekdays. Tho is a great new addition to the South Lake Union area and we look forward to coming back!

    Clearly I've been under a rock not being aware of their OG spot in Tacoma since 1997. Therefore, I'm glad to have visited their second location in Seattle's South Lake Union {7/21/26). Minimalist interior with high ceiling. A good sign to see roasted meats onsite, expertly prepared and served. Lovely table service, very poised and informative demeanor from the owner and other waitstaff. Big enormous bowl selected, Combo dry noodles w/ the three meats: charsiu, crispy pork belly, and roasted duck. Plus pickled veg like carrots, dailkon, mustard greens & baby bok choy, jalepeños, and accompanying sauce. I also added crispy Imerial rolls, which came with pickled veg & dipping sauce. Packed rolls, piping hot, crisp, and full of flavor. Glad I showed up with this as first meal of the day. Despite that, I still had to ask for takeout containers. My boxed up leftovers also enabled The Homie to sample the quality entree and app. He was indeed impressed with the food brought home. This awesome find has been open for about a month in a half. Sure is popular with most tables filled by 1130 on a weekday! I consider this like a mash up of Gao Lhao and Ba Bar. Modern spin on Vietnamese and Hong Kong cuisine makes for return visits to work through their menu.

    Meat quality was good and portions were abundant! They didn't skimp out here and I appreciate it. Taste and quality meat was great, even for take out. My Vietnamese Chinese parents even approved it ! For how much it cost and how much you got, definitely great value these days. Excited to come back and have more.

    This is a second location for the Hong Kong Vietnamese fusion restaurant that has been a beloved Tacoma staple for 29 years. Kevin Ngo, the son of the Duck King himself, has taken up the torch for his family's culinary legacy in SLU, Seattle. He's adapting the menu and style of the Seattle location to fit the needs of the community, and is even partnering with local organizations to lift spirits with his delicious menu. This location has already added a tofu noodle dish for the vegetarians! Fresh ingredients, dishes are scratch made (daily), and MASSIVE portions... Closed Mondays, Hard stop at 5:30 or until they are SOLD OUT! And they DO sell out so don't dilly dally! Whether you get the noodles, Bánh Mì, or Bánh Hỏi, the portions are MASSIVE, incredibly fresh, and DELIGHTFUL! I felt really bad for my friend who couldn't try the pork because it was SO GOOD. But she was super happy with the duck and their homemade fish sauce! And duck is what this place is known for! Don't tell anyone, but they are working on a Tofu Char Siu! AND they are converting their upstairs loft into a Mahjong Mezzanine Speakeasy! I was promised they WILL have spirit-free cocktails when the speakeasy is ready! That will be a VIBE!! I CAN'T WAIT!!

    Went to the new location in Seattle and it was really good! I got ten noodle combo and my girlfriend got the rice combo. Both were very good and tasty, and it was a great portion of food that I had extra to take home. The inside is nice and clean with a variety of sauces and chopsticks at each table. The service was welcoming and efficient and were very kind.

    Amazing food! Tho is a Cantonese and Vietnamese restaurant. Cantonese - using barbecue or roasted meats with Vietnamese style rice or noodles. One word to describe the experience: fantastic! Barbecue meats such as duck, roast pork and barbecue pork are all so good tasting, tender, moist. The mix of these barbecued meats with either rice or noodles really go well. They are so good. The dry noodle combo I ordered had lots of pickled veggies that goes well with the dish. They have a great tasting combination. One thing to note, servings are so generous but I devoured the plate! We also ordered another combo with 3 barbecue meats and rice noodle. It was a pretty plate. Again lots of fresh veggies. Nice corner restaurant next to lots of coffee shops and condo units. While dining, people kept coming in. Mostly dining in and a few who did to go. Thank you @tho Seattle and @YelpWashington for the opportunity to check out this new restaurant. We will be back and discover the other amazing dishes they offer. They had a seasonal drink Mango Coconut which one should try. All mango goodness and no artificial flavors.

    Had a really fun meal at Tho in SLU! The brand has been family-owned for over 29 years in Tacoma, and Kevin, the owner, shared how his love for food inspired him to open this new location in SLU. It was really cool hearing the story behind the restaurant, especially seeing how much passion he has for the food and the family business. Tho serves Vietnamese-Chinese fusion dishes, including roasted duck, BBQ pork, roasted pork, Vietnamese noodles, broken rice, and soup dishes. I got the combination trio with both the rice plate and wet soup, and the portions were generous. The meats were meaty, well-seasoned, and not overly salty, while the broth was incredibly flavorful and umami-rich but still refreshing. The service from Kevin and Malcolm was fantastic, and the restaurant has a modern, fun vibe. I had to take my food to go this time, but I'll definitely be back to enjoy a meal in person next time!

    I went to the Tacoma location (flew into SeaTac from CA and then would drive to Tacoma). That is how good their roast pork, duck, BBQ pork is. Was so happy that they opened in Seattle. It's more gentrified than the Tacoma location. Street parking is easy. I've eaten here three times already. Friends have gotten the threaded noodle combo, rice combo, and I can't seem to get anything else other than the combo noodle bowl. It's so good. Price is reasonable but you get so much food. I can never finish my noodles so it's two meals, TBH. Service is good. My only complaint is they don't have reg Vietnamese coffee and egg coffee has not been available twice now. Wished they were open past 5pm for dinner.

    Tho Tuong BBQ in Tacoma has been on my to try list forever. I was so excited when I saw that they were opening a second location near my neighborhood in SLU. I visited after the lunch rush and was greeted and seated immediately. The servers were very attentive and refilled my water any chance they got. I ordered the Mi Thap Cam dry style and the first bite immediately transported me back to my childhood. The bowl was filled to the brim with bbq pork, roasted pork, and roasted duck. The noodles were lightly seasoned with sauce on the side for you to dress to your own liking. There were blanched bok choy, pickled carrots, daikon, and jalapeños which added a bright and tangy contrast. The soup on the side was light and the perfect accompaniment, balancing the richness of the bbq meat and noodles. I am beaming with excitement writing this review. I haven't been this impressed by a restaurant in a while. I can't wait to come back and bring my family and friends here!

    SO glad they have a Seattle location! I used to go to the Tacoma location all the time growing up since I lived down there. Haven't been in many years since moving out and very pleased with their South Lake Union location. There's decent amount of street parking and lots of seating. Service is very friendly. We went during their soft opening and they were still ironing out kinks but still had a great time. Overall vibe is cozy and modern. I ordered the mi thap cam (noodle combo) with broth on the side (so I could dip the noodles in the broth without having my meats get soggy lol). Everything was so good, just as I remembered. Crispy af roast pork and duck. Super flavorful barbecue pork. Noodles cooked perfectly and broth was very tasty. Definitely coming back since I live up north now.

    Dining at this distinguished barbecue establishment is nothing short of a gastronomic reverie--an…read moreexperience where rustic tradition meets culinary sophistication with effortless grace. From the moment one crosses the threshold, the air itself seems perfumed with a slow‑smoked promise of delight, beckoning diners into a realm where time-honored craft reigns supreme. The brisket, a veritable masterpiece, arrives with a bark so exquisitely rendered it borders on the poetic. Each slice yields with gentle persuasion, revealing marbling that melts into a silken whisper upon the tongue. The ribs, lacquered in a glaze of subtle sweetness and smoky depth, cling tenderly to the bone, surrendering with an elegance that speaks to hours of meticulous tending over smoldering embers. Even the sides--often relegated to mere accompaniment--command admiration. The cornbread is a golden triumph, delicately crumbed yet luxuriously moist, while the collard greens possess a soulful richness that lingers like a cherished memory. And the house-made sauces, presented with almost ceremonial reverence, offer a spectrum of flavor that elevates each bite without ever overshadowing the meat's inherent artistry. Service is attentive without intrusion, delivered with a warmth that mirrors the glowing hearth at the heart of the kitchen. One leaves not merely satisfied, but genuinely moved by the harmony of craft, care, and culinary passion. In a world crowded with pretenders, this BBQ sanctuary stands as a beacon of authenticity and refinement--a place where smoke becomes symphony and every plate tells a story worth savoring.

The counter staff are always friendly, and helpful in trying to make some decisions on what to order. My favorites include: the brisket, smoked chicken, pulled pork, mac-n-cheese, and an occasional salad. We often get our food to go, but when we've eaten in, there is generally plenty of space to sit, and if you sit outside, you can see the folks hard at work smoking the various meat.

    Pretty damn good. In the last few months I've had barbecue in Memphis, Kansas City, Texas and…read morenow...Seattle: certainly an outlier on the barbecue spectrum. At least for this style- Texas style...sort of a combo with both dry rub (Memphis style) and a kick ass sauce ala KC. It was excellent. We both wanted the ribs and brisket so we each got the 'double trouble' and got different sides...greens, cornbread, corn pudding and mashed potatoes. Oh yeah, we also got the fried pickle appetizer. The meat was perfectly done...tender and smoky. Each side was big, and flavorful. I especially liked the greens, my son said it was the best he'd had. Then they brought out the banana pudding. When the server put it on the table my son made a reference to a vampire movie we'd recently watched where the vampires could see the arteries in the necks of their victims and he made a motion to show that the banana pudding was almost pulsating on the table before us. We descended on that poor pudding like crazed nosferatu just awakening from a centuries long nap. Blood lust. It was so good. Gone in about 1 minute. Our evil souls were barely sated. Our thirst for banana pudding only temporarily slaked. The server joked that he's always wanted to bring in a boba straw for the stuff. It's good. Anyway- put this place on your list. Best bbq in Seattle? Maybe? This is a food genre that's important to me and I haven't yet seen better. $130 for two people with tip, wine and a take-home pudding.

A great place to go with family or your lover. The all you can eat concept drew me here hahah. it is hard to find a solid "all you can eat" restaurant that is not only worth the price & location but also worth the food. You come in, choose your selection (per person that is) of what menu food you want (ranging from $35 to $45) and you're set. Though you have small portions, you can choose more if need be until you're full. If you're ever in Seattle, try this gem out. You'll love it.

I finally realized that wagyu comes in different tiers, ranging from 1 to 5, 5 being the most delicious and of course more expensive (which i don't think they offer here). 5 also has the most fatty and delicious wagyu that just melts in your mouth.

They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore.

    Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
